That Little Booger is Fast

Sunday a week ago my Pops came in the house and hollered upstairs to me to tell me he had a pet for me...he said it's even in a cage and everythin'! When I got down stairs to my amazement the pet in the cage was none other than a little baby squirrel. Redneck done caught a squirrel in a Corn Bin!

This surprised me for two reasons:

#1 --> David Williams hates squirrels...he says that they are pest. So I said to myself why on earth does he want his daughter to have one as a pet!

#2 --> I wondered how on earth did he catch the little booger! Cause them thangs are fast! But then again I guess nothin' is a challenge for a Redneck.

Now I have another pet...he's a cat and his name is Yeller. He spotted that little booger right off the bat! He would just sit there and stare at him! Of course all the while thinkin'...what is that and why is it in my house? Yes that's right Yeller is the king of the house...and I don't think that he's too happy that another animal has takin' over. But who know's maybe one day they will become best friends!

Now I told my sister about this little squirrel that is occupyin' the space above the sink in our kitchen. She told me as soon as I found out wether the squirrel was male or female I better let her know because she wanted to name it! So Pops finally told me the squirrel is a female. So Marci named her Ellie Mae, that's a good name for a squirrel caught out of a Corn Bin by a Redneck.

Naturally Marci wanted to see this squirrel so Ellie Mae ended up takin' the trip with us to Florida for our Easter Weekend. There she got to meet two new friends...Lucy Nell and Toby! Ellie Mae spent a good portion of her time on the balcony of Marci's apartment AKA "The Barn". That is where Toby and Lucy Nell first spotted her. And naturally they wanted to play with her, but seein' as how she's only about 5 inches long or so I wouldn't have it! So they stayed blocked behind the slidin' glass door where they could watch in amazement at the little creature.

So I figured that havin' Ellie Mae as a pet ain't such a bad idea at all! It's actually kinda fun feedin' the little booger! She goes crazy over that bottle of milk. Oh and she loves her Strawberries!

So the next time your wonderin' around a Corn Bin look in it you may find some of Ellie Mae's family! I mean come on you can't pass up that little cute face!

Oh I Love The Bunny Bunny!

EASTER IS UPON US!

I remember as a little kid livin' for the day that the Easter Bunny would come to my house to leave me chocolates and presents! It was like Christmas in April! And of course the present entailed Stuffed Bunnies, Movies of Easter and the Gospel of Jesus. I

always found it strange that the so called Easter Bunny would leave me a stuffed bunny...seein' as how he's a bunny himself. But it didn't matter to me.

As I got older of course I found out who the Easter Bunny was...so now what do I get? A big huge chocolate bunny! It's just a little ritual me and my mama started about 3 years ago. She would get me a big bunny...and of course I would commence to singin' that song from Veggie Tales Rack Shack and Benny, "The Bunny The Bunny oh I love the Bunny Bunny." But of course last year she bought me Peter Rabbit. She fussed cause I didn't eat it I just let it turn white. My response to her madness was, "Mama I can't eat Peter Rabbit!" So maybe this year she will learn her lesson and not buy me a Peter Rabbit Chocolate Bunny. PLEASE!

As much as I love the Big Chocolate Bunnies on Easter I always have to remember the real reason for Easter. It's a reflection of what Christ did for a sinner like me. He took on my sins just so that in God's eyes I would be washed white as snow. He came to fulfill the prophecies told in the Old Testament.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.”

~ John 3:16-18 ESV

Everyone Needs A Code They Can Live By

So if you know me well you know that one of my favorite TV Shows is NCIS. And on that show is my favorite actor Mark Harmon AKA Leroy Jethro Gibbs. Through out the shows Gibbs tells us his Rules! And as he tells Ziva the first day she works for him that they're are about 50 of 'em. I researched this little topic to find out all of Gibbs rules. Oh and did I find them all!

Rule #1 --> Never let suspects stay together.

Rule #1 --> Never screw over your partner.

Rule #2 --> Always wear gloves at a crime scene.

Rule #3 --> Don't believe what you're told. Double check.

Rule #3 --> Never be unreachable.

Rule #4 --> If you have a secret, the best thing is to keep it to yourself. The second-best to tell one other person if you must. There is no third best.

Rule #6 --> Never say you're sorry. It's a sign of weakness.

Rule #8 --> Never take anything for granted.

Rule #9 --> Never go anywhere without a knife.

Rule #10 --> Never get personally involved in a case.

Rule #11 --> When the job is done, walk away.

Rule #12 --> Never date a coworker.

Rule #13 --> Never, ever involve lawyers.

Rule #15 --> Always work as a team.

Rule #18 --> It's better to ask forgiveness than to ask permission.

Rule #22 --> Never, ever interrupt Gibbs in interrogation.

Rule #23 --> Never mess with a Marine's coffee if you want to live.

Rule #27 --> There are two ways to follow someone. First way - they never notice you. Second way - they only notice you.

Rule #38 --> Your case, your lead.

Rule #39 --> There is no such thing as a coincidence.

Rule #40 --> If it seems like someone is out to get you, they are.

Rule #44 --> First things first, hide the women and children.

Rule #45 --> Clean up your messes.

Rule #51 --> Sometimes - you're wrong.

Now the first thing I noticed about this little list was first of all Leroy Jethro Gibbs doesn't know how to count, second he sure does skip a lot of numbers, and third there are two #1's and #3's!

Come on Gibbs you're suppose to be my HERO!!!
